ComImpact elects Valerio Stallone and Adrian Wenzl to the Board of Directors
At the general meeting on February 10, Valerio Stallone (HWZ) and Adrian Wenzl (Webrepublic) were elected to the board of the ComImpact professional association. The professional association, which provides best-practice insights into CommTech and AI, will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2026 and has already hosted 48 events for the marketing and communications community.
Cyril Meier, Chairman of the ComImpact Association, hosted the members' meeting on February 10, which took place at Farner's new location in Sihlcity in Zurich. "It gives me great pleasure to ring in ComImpact's 5th anniversary year today," said Meier. Since its foundation in February 2021, the association and its members have already held 48 events for the marketing and communications community. At least one event per month is also on the program for 2026.
Unanimous election of the new Board members
At the general meeting, Adrian Wenzl (Webrepublic) and Valerio Stallone (Head of Marketing & Digital HWZ) stood for election to the board, which was unanimous. According to Valerio Stallone, ComImpact "addresses precisely those interfaces in its association activities that require a high level of communication skills - technology, methodology and measurable success. In other words, exactly what the HWZ prioritizes in education, training and research."
Tobias Zehnder, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Webrepublic and member of the ComImpact Executive Board, is now handing over to his long-time Webrepublic colleague Adrian Wenzl, Senior Client Director. According to Wenzl, he is very much looking forward to contributing his many years of experience in digital marketing to ComImpact and strengthening the practical exchange of knowledge in today's complex industry environment.
